We've Got It All!

Fernando doesn't usually do much writing that isn't prose for any number of reasons, the fact that he's not very good at it being foremost among them. That being said, the urge struck following a phone call Fernando received on a Sunday. Creative liberties have been taken with the ensuing conversation which has been related. Words that are used may not have been said exactly as they are written. People don't usually speak in a way conducive to lyric doggerel.

Four on Sunday afternoon, the phone decides to ring

Fernando crosses over and says into the plastic thing

Like a gent it's:

“Hi, Dominion of Movies, how can I help you today?”

“You got some VHS there that I can buy to play?”

“Absolutely, I do, now!

“What kind you wanting?”

Come down to see!

We've got it all on VHS.

“Fair bit of horror

Action, kids', comedy.”

We've got it all on VHS.

“Buck apiece for starters,

Six-for-five deal's the norm.

The only kind I lack is the ubiquitous porn.”

We've got it all

(Or nearly all)

On VHS

Stranger on the phone takes deliberation time

Then says, “That don't help me much. Hoped X-rated could be mine.”

Fernando answers,

“Sorry that I cannot help you.” “Well, you got any on DVD?”

Fernando palms his face in abject misery

(Happens a lot, don't you see, now?)

We've got some drama

Some westerns too

We've got it all on DVD

Care for a war film?

Sci-fi/fantasy stew?

We've got it all on DVD

“I'm sorry again.

It's an unnecessary risk

Attaining porn for the back room on video disc.”

We've got it all

(Well, nearly all)

On DVD

“What kind of store do you run?

You know what people like?

Pick up some, and then I'll come down, and fast!”

“Twenty bucks a movie, and shipping too,

I'll get right on it...wait, lemme think, no.

I'll pass.”

Hot new releases

Oldies to boot

A weekly rent-one-get-one-free

Some games as well here

With more and more taking root

(For most part on X360)

It's not that I'm prudish

It's I don't see the point

Wrangling with a provider of skin flicks for this joint

I've got it all

(Quite close to all)

On DVD

Apologies to Mr. Yankovic.
